April General Conference
'True to the Faith'
Elder Hans T. Boom
"Please learn and receive strength from the faith and testimonies of those who came before you."
I kept asking James this morning if we could go to Chandler to support Stacy & Paul at their stake Easter activity. He kept saying that he was too busy. We have stake conference this evening and we would miss it if we went to the valley.
I decided just to go about my day. I thought about going down by myself but decided against it.
I left to go grocery shopping around 11:15. I went to Walmart and got my car washed before driving home around 2:15. I got a phone call on the way home, from James. He asked me if I still wanted to go to Chandler. I told him yes but it was a little late. He asked where I was and I told him I was just approaching the Y. He told me to hurry home. He helped me put the groceries away and then he told me to go get ready. I told him I was already ready and he was the one that needed to change, which he did. We left around 3 pm. The event starts at 5:30 so we will be a little late.
We stopped at Burger House for green mixed burros and onion rings and still made it to K.K. Skousen park by 6:00, record time.
We parked and as we were walking across the field, one of the first people we saw was Sheri. Even though she isn't in this stake she is helping out. She was in charge of this huge tire shaped target with velcro on it. The participants kick a soccer ball which sticks to the target. It looked like a lot of fun. Sheri and I sat and watched mostly. Once in awhile she would go over and talk to the kids.
The weather was perfect. This morning while setting up it was extremely hot. Stacy & Paul, and Kim all prayed that clouds would come and that it would be overcast. Their prayers were answered. It was so enjoyable just to sit outside and enjoy the nice weather and be a part of this event.
Adam came by to say hello. He and James went in the Cooper meetinghouse to see the presentation about the Savior. Stacy said she thought he came because he knew we would be here. How sweet. I would have gone to the presentation too but Sheri wanted me to stay with her.
Kim and Brian were in charge of one of the bouncy houses so I didn't get to see very much of them. Kim did bring me one of her Cadbury egg cookies to try and it was delicious. Stacy also brought me a pulled pork sandwich. I wasn't too hungry because I had eaten half of my green mixed burro.
I got to visit with a dear friend, Sheila Young, before leaving. Sheila grew up in Show Low. I didn't know her then but I did know her mother and her older sister Wanda. She was in our ward while James was bishop before moving over to the other side of Arizona Avenue. She told me about her husband Dwayne having 8 strokes and a brain bleed. The doctor gave him no chances of surviving, yet he is still alive. I told her about out miracle with James. It was so nice to see her and reconnect.
We left a little after 8. We went and filled up with gas and then started home, the Globe way. It was 11:00 when we got home. We were gone a total of 8 hours. We fell into bed and almost immediately went to sleep.

I don't want him to look mad or mean,
because he is far from that.
